Chapter 35 Restart

　　Kei Kojima couldn't contact Yuta Otsutsuki, so he could only send him a message and took a plane back to his country first, rushing to Sendai, which had become a battlefield.

　　Before he arrived at the scene, someone blocked his way.

　　"Mr. Kojima, what are you going to do?"

　　Kei Kojima gripped the scabbard tightly, looking at the unfriendly person with a wary look on his face:

　　"Who are you? I have something urgent to attend to. Please move aside."

　　While he was hiding abroad to heal his broken heart, he had no idea that his friends and his lover were attacked in this land!

　　He was even browsing his phone leisurely yesterday! He had no idea about this!

　　When Kei Kojima saw the cold words on his phone: "Nanami Kento died in action, Haibara Yu died in action," he felt as if frozen.

　　He couldn't believe that the person who was still on the phone yesterday had now become a cold corpse.

　　It all happened so fast.

　　He suppressed his anger and sadness. At least... Gojo Satoru was still alive.

　　Before reaching Sendai, Kei Kojima could see the smoke and the smell of cursed spirits from afar.

　　Black smoke filled the air above the city, and Kei Kojima felt anxious.

　　This was an organized and premeditated large-scale war. Kei Kojima had no time to grieve for his dead comrades. All he needed to do now was to quickly eliminate the cursed spirits that kept emerging and rescue Gojo Satoru from the seal.

　　"I just want to tell Mr. Kojima something."

　　The man, wearing a tall hat, stared at him and said:

　　"You've been deceived by Gojo Satoru."

　　Kei Kojima's eyebrows jumped suddenly.

　　"This is my own business,"

　　Kojima Kei’s face was expressionless:

　　"I can handle this myself. You, a stranger, don't need to worry about it. Get out of the way. I don't want to have to say this again."

　　The man chuckled twice:

　　"I'm afraid you've already sensed it. He doesn't like you at all, so why does he insist on being with you? It's just that you're useful."

　　Kei Kojima had a hunch that he might not like what he was going to hear next.

　　"You're overthinking it. I was the one who took advantage of him. Besides, even if it doesn't work, I'll rescue Gojo Satoru and ask him in person. There's no need for an outsider like you to talk nonsense here."

　　Kojima Kei's face has turned cold:

　　"I'll give you three seconds, or you can leave."

　　He drew his sword, expressionless:

　　"--die."

　　The man was not afraid at all. He just took out his phone and pressed the button:

　　"There's really nothing I can do. I'll just let you listen."

　　"three."

　　Kei Kojima only focused on the countdown:

　　"two."

　　Gojo Satoru's voice came from the man's cell phone.

　　There was a crack in Kei Kojima's cold expression for a moment.

　　"Oh, yes, we broke up."

　　Gojo Satoru said lightly:

　　"I've been observing him for so long, and he doesn't have his mother's potential at all. He doesn't have what I want, so it's natural that we broke up."

　　He seemed to be communicating with someone in an open space.

　　An elderly voice on the other side asked:

　　"How do you know?"

　　"That guy has no talent. I've been assisting him for so long, but he still hasn't even scratched the surface of his reversal skills."

　　Gojo Satoru chuckled:

　　"Do I have to wait another ten or eight years? I don't have the time for that."

　　"We can understand that your asylum for Kei Kojima has been revoked, correct?"

　　"……certainly."

　　Kei Kojima heard Gojo Satoru answer this.

　　Noda Riku finished playing the recording and said sarcastically:

　　"Why do you think Gojo Satoru broke up with you?

　　You don't think he's just tired of you, do you? That's foolish. He's just realized you're useless and doesn't want to bother with you anymore. He wants something from you."

　　Kojima Kei stared at the man in silence for a while:

　　"So? What kind of answer do you want from me?"

　　Noda Riku was delighted in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face:

　　"Gojo Satoru doesn't understand your value. You possess a unique ability in the world of curses. You can know the future and jump back to the past. Your family is born with this ability. Your mother also used this ability to reverse time and resurrect you. Unfortunately..."

　　He sighed:

　　"He was discovered in advance by Geto Suguru and killed."

　　Kojima Kei pulled up a sarcastic smile:

　　"Oh, really?"

　　"It seems you have guessed a little bit."

　　Noda Riku continued:

　　"It's just that Gojo Satoru doesn't know that you need to complete the technique under certain conditions..."

　　Noda Riku extended his hand to Kojima Kei, inviting him. He ignored the tragic scenes behind him and said with a smile:

　　"Only we know the conditions for the success of this ritual. We will tell you and bring back all your friends and family. Come, you don't need to worry about those things. Just learn the ritual, reverse time and space, and this will never happen again."

　　Kojima Kei sighed slightly:

　　"I see."

　　Although, he had already had this premonition.

　　Or rather, he had this vague feeling ever since Gojo Satoru broke up with him.

　　No wonder Gojo Satoru was always reluctant to teach him the reversal technique, no wonder there were always people following him to supervise and protect him every time he went out, no wonder Gojo Satoru always had to make a big fuss to show outsiders that he was his man.

　　When did you start to doubt it?

　　Probably from the day his mother died, Kei Kojima felt something was wrong.

　　The strong attention paid to him by the top brass of the magic world, and what Geto Suguru once said to him:

　　"Thank you, mother."

　　After he came back, he started to ask questions indirectly, but Gojo Satoru chose to avoid answering.

　　There was only one reason: he couldn't bear the answer to the question.

　　Kei Kojima didn't dare to think about it too much.

　　He always thought that he was blessed by God and had a second life and a chance to start over.

　　He never dared to imagine what price his mother paid to save him.

　　He could only vent all his anger on Geto Suguru, the one who caused all this.

　　If he had not known this person in the first place, he would not have been killed, and his mother would not have risked her life to save him.

　　He knew that this time, Geto Suguru didn't actually kill his mother at all.

　　But other than that, he had nowhere to vent his powerlessness.

　　"You have a unique gift,"

　　Noda Rikong smiled:

　　"We will help you unleash this talent. Don't you want to bring your family and your friends back?"

　　He turned the screen of his phone towards Kei Kojima, on which were photos of the bodies of Haihara Yu and Nanami Kento.

　　Kei Kojima just took a look and quickly looked away, not daring to look any longer. He clenched his palms tightly, filled with anger.

　　"Gojo Satoru is too possessive of you. He never lets us get close to you and never lets you know the truth. He only wants you to be his appendage and be used by him. You have been deceived for too long."

　　Noda Riku said:

　　"From today on, you don't need to worry about him anymore. No one can break his seal. Perhaps one day, many years from now, he will come out. But definitely not now, in this era we are in."

　　Kojima Kei sneered:

　　"Who are you? You're not the group that wants to kill Itadori Yuji."

　　He said, "I'm sorry, but I refuse."

　　Noda Riku looked at him coldly:

　　"it's a pity."

　　He snapped his fingers, and the next second, a large number of guards in white robes suddenly emerged from the empty air. They were exactly the same as the guards who appeared when his mother died that night.

　　There are a lot of them, a rough count shows there are probably hundreds of them.

　　These people are lurking here so close to Sendai and the battlefield, just to take advantage of the golden opportunity when Gojo Satoru is sealed to capture the precious hostage.

　　It would be such a waste to use the ability to go back in time to save one or two people.

　　This is clearly the strongest trump card to save the world, and it must be used with caution.

　　Rina Kojima's ability was wasted, and they had no way of knowing what history she had changed. They only knew that she did it to save her son. But this time, Kei Kojima's ability could not be wasted anymore, and at least it had to be used at the right time and place.

　　In the past, due to the influence of Gojo Satoru, they also wanted to use Kei Kojima to get rid of Geto Suguru, so they did not take action.

　　Now Kei Kojima's companions are either dead or injured, and they are no longer afraid.

　　This card should be completely controlled by them.

　　Kei Kojima stood there, the white guards dividing him and the battlefield behind them into two worlds.

　　On one side is the battle for human survival, on the other side is the internal struggle among humans.

　　He just felt it was a bit ironic.

　　"This is the order we received. My apologies, Mr. Kojima, but please return with us obediently. You will suffer less."

　　Noda Riku smiled and said:

　　"You are only a first-level sorcerer, but here are a hundred guards whose strength is equivalent to that of a second-level sorcerer or above."

　　Kojima Kei said coldly: "Then let's give it a try."

　　The cold wind blew, leaving only his indifferent face.

　　Strength is equivalent to?

　　How ridiculous! Have they ever fought on the line between life and death?

　　Everyone thought he was a good person, that he had a mild temper and would smile at everyone he saw, and that he was forced to this point by Geto Suguru.

　　But everyone forgot that he was raised by Geto Suguru, and that he had the same cold blood as him.

　　He learned the kindness disguised by Geto Suguru, and also learned the madness of Geto Suguru.

　　Facing these people whom he had never met before but who were blocking his way, Kei Kojima was filled with murderous intent.

　　In a one-on-many situation, Kei Kojima still has a lot of important things to do. He doesn't want to prolong the battle. He must strike first before they know his true strength!

　　"field

　　Thousand Buddha Noodles."

　　A huge dome slowly expanded with Kei Kojima as the center, covering the entire group of people.

　　This was the first time that Kei Kojima displayed his complete domain in front of outsiders, and the only person who had seen it was Gojo Satoru.

　　Puff puff!

　　Thousands of light shadows shuttled through the field. The guards could hardly see clearly in the white fog. They picked up weapons and tried to protect themselves, but it was no use.

　　There are companions all around, and the attacks can only hit our own people.

　　What's even more terrifying is that in this infinitely large area, they can't even mobilize their cursed power.

　　Without cursed power, he is just an ordinary person.

　　At this time, Noda Riku's face finally changed. They had never heard that Kojima Kei had such ability, being able to suppress more than a hundred sorcerers and prevent them from mobilizing their cursed energy. This was completely beyond the special-level ability.

　　He listened to the screams of his companions around him and pressed the distress button.

　　Do you still think that he only has the ability of a first-level sorcerer?

　　Kei Kojima was really underestimated.

　　Or, killing the weakened Geto Suguru, a special-grade sorcerer, was not a big deal for them.

　　Perhaps it was the light of Gojo that obscured Kei Kojima. He seldom fought against others, but only went to exterminate the cursed spirits. In the only battles, he used a tent. No one knew what happened inside. They only knew that he and Geto Suguru were both injured.

　　I underestimated his strength, and I also underestimated Geto Suguru's strength.

　　During the ten years that Gojo Satoru protected him, Kojima Kei grew rapidly, to a point where they could no longer control him.

　　"Kojima Kei! Think carefully! Are you going to watch your dead comrades never to be resurrected?! Don't you want your mother to come back? You've been bewitched by Gojo Satoru!"

　　Kei Kojima's voice echoed within the realm:

　　"Don't stop me, I want to find my lover."

　　"Heh, you're not willing to waste your magical power to revive them. It seems your friendship with them is just this..."

　　The remaining voice of Noda Riku was still ringing in Kei Kojima's ears.

　　With a click, Kei Kojima sheathed his sword.

　　The domain dissipated, and the guards' heads had already been separated, becoming headless corpses.

　　Now they think they have no backing and try to deceive him with sweet words?

　　He is no longer the boy who hid behind others and trembled when he entered school.

　　The fact that his mother was willing to self-destruct in order to keep him alive is enough to prove how serious the side effects of the time reversal technique are. If it were just a simple condition, wouldn't it be fooling time?

　　I'm afraid the price is beyond his ability to bear.

　　How could he not understand this simple truth?

　　Kei Kojima staggered two steps, leaned on the hilt of his sword and let out a breath.

　　It is not easy to deal with a team of one hundred sorcerers. You need to take a rest before going in.

　　Judging from the situation, the people behind them are determined to get him.

　　There has never been a moment when Kei Kojima felt that he was alone and helpless.

　　They said he had the power to reverse time, but he had no idea how to use it.

　　But why did Gojo Satoru suddenly break up with him at this time?

　　Did he foresee this happening? Did he also arrange for him to go abroad?

　　Kei Kojima had too many questions in his mind, and too many questions he wanted to ask Gojo Satoru in person.

　　He took a deep breath and prepared to get up and leave.

　　“Pah pah pah!”

　　Hearing the sound of applause, Kei Kojima turned around suddenly, only to see someone who shouldn't be here.

　　"That's amazing! It's only been a year since we last met, and Kei has become even more amazing. I really admire him."

　　The man clapped his hands.

　　Kojima Kei's heart sank inch by inch:

　　"Who are you?"

　　Why does he look like Geto Suguru?

　　Why are you wearing the clothes that Geto Suguru wore when he was alive?

　　"I'm Jay,"

　　Geto Summer Oil smiled slightly:

　　"Kyu, don't you recognize me?"

　　"I remember I killed you."

　　Kei Kojima was alert as he looked at the strange person in front of him.

　　It clearly looked like Geto Suguru, but his subconscious told him that this person was not him at all.

　　"Wu said he has buried you."

　　Geto Summer Oil shrugged:

　　"He lied to you, I'm not actually dead~"

　　"So, you controlled Geto Suguru's body?"

　　Kojima Kei suddenly realized and gritted his teeth:

　　"I should have chopped off your head!"

　　Geto Xiayou opened his long mouth, looking extremely scary:

　　“It’s really hard to fool.”

　　He removed the scarf from his neck, revealing the bloody hole from the stitches.

　　"But do you still have the strength to kill me again?"

　　Fake Geto Suguru sneered:

　　"People like you who subvert history shouldn't exist. Do you really think you have the ability to kill him?"

　　Kojima Kei was stunned for a moment:

　　"What's the meaning?"

　　The person staring at Geto Xiayou's face laughed heartily, his tone full of sarcasm: "You don't really think you can beat him by yourself, do you?"

　　He opened the skull, revealing the disgusting brains inside.

　　A wave of light swept through the air.

　　The next second, Kei Kojima seemed to be controlled by someone and could not move at all. He could only rely on this person to get closer step by step.

　　A dark figure walked out and knelt in front of the fake Geto Suguru, with only fanaticism in his eyes:

　　"Lord Xia You!"

　　The fake Geto Suguru instantly appeared in front of Kojima Kei and grabbed his throat:

　　"Go to hell."

　　He said lightly.

　　At the same time.

　　Yuta Otsutsuki woke up Yuji Itadori and told him everything.

　　As Gojo Sensei expected, if one day he loses his ability to move, it will be the best opportunity for the Jujutsu Inspectorate to take action, whether it is Yuji Itadori who is the vessel of Ryomen Sukuna, or Kei Kojima who can change the future.

　　He learned the news in advance and returned home early without alerting Kei Kojima. There, no one would tell Kei Kojima all the information, and he would be isolated abroad.

　　He turned on his phone and saw a message from Kei Kojima. His eyebrows jumped and he quickly called.

　　No one answered the call.

　　Yuta Otsutsu's heart sank.

　　Who leaked the news?

　　He contacted the person in charge of supervising Kei Kojima abroad again, but still no one answered.

　　He stood up quickly.

　　Yuji Itadori was shocked:

　　"Senior, what's wrong?"

　　Yuta Otsutsuki looked up with an unpleasant expression:

　　"Mr. Kojima, I can't get in touch with you."

　　Yuji Itadori was stunned for a moment. Teacher Kojima?

　　"I'm going to go find him now, please be careful."

　　The next second after Yuta Okkotsu finished speaking, he disappeared. Yuji Itadori touched his head, confused.

　　The other side.

　　Kei Kojima had his neck pinched, and the pain of suffocation made him tremble uncontrollably.

　　But...why can't I move my body?

　　He seemed to have had this feeling in his memory. At that time, he thought he was dreaming.

　　It really is a technique!

　　The noose forced Kei Kojima to look up at him.

　　"How funny. This man couldn't bear to kill you. You wouldn't know it, but he changed his mind at the last moment. But, thanks to him, I was able to obtain this body."

　　Kojima Kei struggled to speak:

　　"You should...thank me."

　　Noose raised his eyebrows and smiled:

　　"Oh, you are quite good at talking, but do you know that the reason you ended up like this is because I sealed your beloved Gojo Satoru away."

　　He felt the body under his palm tremble slightly, obviously unable to bear such a fact, and he raised the corners of his lips:

　　"Kill three birds with one stone. Your abilities are very useful, but it's a pity that I can't own them. It's better to die early."

　　The noose tightened hard, squeezing Kei Kojima's throat, once and for all.

　　Kei Kojima trembled in pain, he was about to suffocate, a feeling he had experienced once before.

　　The memory of his death in his previous life flooded into his mind again. He struggled desperately, but his whole body felt like it was filled with lead.

　　Kei Kojima vaguely felt that perhaps he was supposed to die like this.

　　Sooner or later, no matter how hard he tried, he would only prolong the time.

　　These ten years seem like stolen time, just a beautiful dream.

　　Everything in front of him was blurry. He still had a lot of things to do and he didn't want to die here.

　　He couldn't help shedding tears:

　　"Don't kill me, Jay."

　　He was pitiful, crying softly and struggling in pain:

　　"I'm in so much pain, Jay. I'm in so much pain. Please don't hurt me anymore. I won't like you anymore. I won't come near you anymore, okay?"

　　The corner of his mouth curled up in a cold smile: "How ridiculous, do you think I am him...?"

　　Before he could finish his words, his body suddenly shook violently, his hands loosened, and Kei Kojima fell to the ground.

　　"What's this……"

　　The noose muttered to himself:

　　"here we go again……"

　　It was even stronger than last time. It seemed that there was still consciousness in his body, which actually affected his actions.

　　Is it because of this person?

　　The thoughts in Nozomi's mind raced quickly, and the next moment, his eyes blurred, and a sword flashing with white light came towards his neck. Kojima Kei did not miss the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He looked over with one hand and threw the binding technique over with the other.

　　"clang!"

　　Kei Kojima's sword shattered instantly, and the fragments pierced into the bodies of the two men.

　　Noose raised his right arm to block the attack, but the sword only went through half of his palm and was bitten into pieces by the cursed spirit.

　　The cursed spirit opened its mouth wide and bit Kei Kojima's shoulder.

　　“Puff!——”

　　Kei Kojima's shoulder was bleeding, but he didn't care. He turned his head and bit the cursed spirit, fixing its body and holding it down to prevent it from moving. With his other hand, he took out a long dagger from his waist.

　　That was a gift that Kento Nanami had given him.

　　He looked up and saw that familiar face, now covered with hideous lines, half of the expression was puzzled, and the other half was fierce.

　　It was as if two consciousnesses were fighting within the body.

　　"I...said..."

　　A smile was forced on half of Xia Yujie's face:

　　"I won't kill you... a second time."

　　He said he would do what he said and would complete it even if it meant death.

　　This is his promise.

　　"field--"

　　The white dome, which was many times smaller than before, expanded again with Kei Kojima as the center. His face was pale and he looked up at the man whose face could no longer be seen, with mixed feelings.

　　Countless beams of light appeared again and chopped off Geto Suguru's head.

　　Half of Geto Suguru's body fell to the ground with a loud bang, and his brains flew out of his skull, but cursed energy was emanating from his body. The dome was slowly devouring his body, causing it to slowly dissipate.

　　The brain flower flew slowly in the air, as if it wanted to leave, but the next second, it was nailed to the sword blade.

　　A vibration came from Kei Kojima's palm, causing the inside of his brain to begin to shatter, spinning continuously, with debris flying from the inside to the outside.

　　"Bang!——"

　　Turned into flying dust.

　　Kei Kojima held the broken hilt of his sword and muttered to himself:

　　"Now... we're even."

　　A small light rose from Kei Kojima's fingertips and landed on Geto Suguru's body.

　　"boom--"

　　The raging fire burned Geto Suguru's body to ashes. After a brief moment of confusion, the cursed spirit's eyes turned fierce again, and it bared its teeth and rushed towards the only living person present.

　　No one could see that a small ball of flesh had entered the body of the black shadow who was watching the battle nearby and was heartbroken.

　　The black shadow's body froze for a moment, glanced at Kei Kojima who was still fighting with the cursed spirit, and left quietly.

　　Two consecutive battles exhausted Kei Kojima's strength. He touched his swollen neck and staggered forward. His mind was in a mess due to lack of oxygen. He felt someone seemed to be approaching him. Just as he was about to look back, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and fainted.

　　Kei Kojima vaguely heard someone talking in his ear.

　　Someone stabbed him in the back with a needle, tied him to a chair, pried his mouth open, and poured something into his mouth. He gritted his teeth and refused to relax, subconsciously feeling that he couldn't drink.

　　He opened his eyes, but only saw vague shadows in front of him. He couldn't make out the faces clearly. He was just walking back and forth, and he felt dizzy.

　　It was as if I had forgotten everything, including who I was. I only remembered that I seemed to want to find someone.

　　Someone seemed to be pulling his hair, asking him some questions he couldn't understand, and reading something to him.

　　No one could hear his mumbling.

　　He felt his consciousness was about to be annihilated in the tide. His mind flashed by the face of Haibara Yuu smiling and waving at him, by Nanami Kento's reserved nod and Yae Masamichi's serious face, and by the smile on his mother's lips as she gently stroked him, and finally stopped at Gojo Satoru's face.

　　If I had known earlier... I should have spoken up sooner, told him sooner. I had already fallen in love with him the moment he appeared in front of me and held me trembling in his arms.

　　But I didn't know that the other party was already furious:

　　“Why doesn’t it work?”

　　"What a tough guy!"

　　Kei Kojima felt no pain, but only felt that a lot of strange things were instilled into his brain, as if trying to break his personality.

　　It's just that the medication seemed to be excessive, making it impossible for him to stay awake, open his eyes, and complete the requirements they asked him to complete.

　　He was always being moved, staggering along in the darkness.

　　The nerves in the deepest part of my mind, which were forced down by numerous chaotic thoughts, suddenly began to beat one day, and I seemed to hear a familiar voice, but it was not clear.

　　Finally they reached a stable place. There were no more strange noises. There was only a familiar breath that hugged him tightly.

　　"Why don't you listen? Why do you insist on coming back?"

　　He heard the voice say.

　　"I already sent you outside...Kyu."

　　The man stroked his cheek:

　　"I'm sorry... I shouldn't have let you go through this. I failed to protect you."

　　Kei Kojima couldn't help but reach out to grab him, tears streaming down his face.

　　Just like what I have dreamt countless times.

　　But one day, that breath suddenly became farther and farther away from him. Kojima Kei wanted to call him, but his throat could not make a sound. He screamed wildly in the darkness.

　　At a certain moment, the dark door pressing on his heart finally opened a crack.

　　Kei Kojima suddenly sat up, shocking Naoko Ieiri so much that she almost dropped the scalpel in her hand.

　　"Are you awake?"

　　"What about him?"

　　Kei Kojima asked.

　　"who?"

　　Ieiri Glass reacted immediately:

　　"Are you talking about Gojo? He went to Shinjuku and had a showdown with that guy called Sukuna. He came back after the fight."

　　She said lightly.

　　Kei Kojima immediately turned over and got out of bed, but because he was weak, he almost fell to the ground.

　　Jiajiajia held him down:

　　"Slow down, you haven't recovered yet! What are you going to do?"

　　“I feel that he is always with me.”

　　Kojima Kei's tone was firm, and he put on his shoes with trembling hands:

　　"I'm going to go find him."

　　"You look so weak now, what's the point of going? They are busy right now, and you will only cause trouble if you go, so stay put."

　　Iairi Glass frowned.

　　Kojima Kei paused:

　　"I'll just watch from a distance."

　　He hadn't seen him for a long, long time.

　　He misses him very much.

　　Ieiri Glass sighed:

　　"I can't stop you from going anywhere. Your life is your own, so make your own decision."

　　"Thank you, Senior."

　　Kei Kojima bowed and thanked him, then staggered out.

　　He didn't know how long he had been locked up, but he felt extremely weak all over.

　　His memory was only fragmented, his head was filled with a lot of things, and he walked to the door panting, and a car stopped in front of him.

　　He was a colleague from the logistics team. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name.

　　Fudi Zun rolled down the window and shouted at him:

　　"Senior, I'll take you there. Get in the car!"

　　Kei Kojima paused and didn't get in the car immediately. He couldn't trust anyone now.

　　"It was Ieiri-senpai who called me over,"

　　Fudi Zun took out his ID and explained:

　　"She said you were too weak to go alone."

　　Kojima Kei nodded:

　　"Thanks."

　　He got into the car and leaned back involuntarily because of fatigue.

　　"Hey, Kojima."

　　Fukuchi-sama handed the phone to Kojima Kei, and Ieiri Naoko's voice came from the phone:

　　"You left in a hurry and lay in bed for many days. I guess you don't understand many things. I'll tell you briefly on the way."

　　Hearing the familiar voice, Kojima Kei felt relieved:

　　"...Okay, thank you for your help, Senior."

　　As the vehicle moved forward, Kei Kojima's pale and thin face was reflected in the car window.

　　"I see."

　　Kojima Kei said in a low voice:

　　"……I see."

　　He clenched his fists tightly for this miserable world.

　　After Gojo Satoru was sealed, this guardian deity that had stood in front of everyone collapsed, revealing the fragile sprout inside. The hateful high-ranking officials in the Jujutsu world couldn't wait to show their fangs. In the crisis where the external threat had not yet been resolved, they took the lead in attacking their own people and seeking their own interests in the chaos.

　　He is like this, Mr. Yaga is like this, and the innocent Yuji Itadori is like this too.

　　In their eyes, human life is divided into "useful" and "useless".

　　"I'm just saying this to calm you down."

　　Ieiri Naoko's voice came from the phone:

　　"Gojo turned their lair upside down before he found you. He entrusted me with your safety, but I won't stop you from making your choice. I hope you understand your value to them. When you reach the battlefield, be careful of the enemies behind you."

　　"Okay, I understand."

　　"I'm here, waiting for your safe return."

　　Kojima Kei clenched his palms:

　　"……good."

　　He got out of the car, holding his heart that was about to jump out, and ran with all his strength towards the area he sensed.

　　He sensed Gojo Satoru's cursed power.

　　In battle with another cursed spirit with a strange aura, you are strong and I am weak, and we are entangled in a fight.

　　It’s almost here!

　　Faster!

　　Kei Kojima had already seen the barrier with the head emerging, and there were several familiar figures standing outside the barrier.

　　The next moment, a powerful force seeped out from the barrier, and black lightning flashed from above the inside of the barrier.

　　“Bang!”

　　Kei Kojima paused for a moment, then ran forward at an almost crazy speed.

　　“Crack!”

　　It was the sound of the barrier shattering. A wave surged out from the barrier, overturning the surrounding rubble.

　　Kei Kojima suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and took a difficult step forward against the strong wind.

　　I don’t know how long I walked, the wind stopped and everything was silent.

　　Blood dripped out in large streams from the distant half of the body, flowed along the sloping ground, and wet Kei Kojima's feet.

　　Kei Kojima seemed unaware and just continued walking forward.

　　"Um?"

　　A shirtless man with black lines on his face turned his head.

　　"Next opponent?"

　　He stroked his chin and looked carefully at Kei Kojima's face:

　　"Ah, it's you."

　　A strange smile appeared on his face:

　　"I remember that Gojo Satoru is someone important to you. It's a pity that I couldn't fulfill my promise to kill you before he died..."

　　Kei Kojima ignored him and knelt beside Gojo Satoru, putting his body together.

　　He looked calm, as if he was just doing something ordinary.

　　Blood was always flowing out of the gap, and the man's pupils had lost their luster, leaving only grayness.

　　It's okay, it's just an injury, it's not incurable.

　　"field--"

　　His domain can heal wounds, no, it can restore the body's state to its previous state.

　　“Puff!”

　　An arm passed through Kei Kojima's chest.

　　A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Kei Kojima's mouth and sprayed onto the man's body.

　　This evil ghost from a thousand years ago doesn't talk a lot like Noose. He attacks right away without giving any extra time.

　　The light and shadow in the area seemed to have no effect on him, and the fog could not block his vision, which was clear.

　　Obviously, it was not only because the weak Kei Kojima's domain had weakened, but also because the strength of this special-grade cursed spirit was extraordinarily powerful.

　　A lightsaber powerful enough to cut off a sorcerer couldn't even penetrate his skin.

　　"This is too weak."

　　Sukuna frowned, pulled out his arm, shook off the blood on his arm, looked at the human under his feet, and struggled to get up again. The bloody hole in his chest had healed visibly.

　　The cursed energy that overflowed from Sukuna's body floated above this human, and then transformed into pure cursed energy to heal the wound.

　　"Healer?"

　　Sukuna snorted coldly and said:

　　"What are you doing here? Stupid."

　　He picked his ears:

　　"Forget it." He smiled broadly.

　　"Since you like him so much, it would be better for you to die together."

　　Sukuna was too lazy to use the Demon Subduing Cook to fight back. He had consumed too much cursed energy in the battle with Gojo Satoru. He only needed to punch the sky hard, and the human realm would shatter.

　　Kei Kojima spat out another mouthful of blood, his face expressionless as he expanded his domain once again.

　　It was just much smaller than before, and the domain was shaky and seemed to be disappearing in the next second.

　　Kei Kojima vaguely heard that someone seemed to have joined the battle behind him. Sukuna did not continue to target him, but turned to deal with the new enemy.

　　He half-knelt around Gojo Satoru, only to use his power again when his domain was shattered.

　　It repeats itself over and over again.

　　The originally unstable area began to stabilize due to the emergence of new battles.

　　Yuta Otsutsukota rushed to his side and shouted in his ear:

　　"Mr. Kojima! Take Mr. Gojo and get out of here!"

　　Kei Kojima remained motionless.

　　Yuta Otsutsuki was anxious and helpless. He reached out to pull his body and was surprised to find that Kei Kojima and Gojo Satoru's bodies were firmly fixed to the ground.

　　The cursed energy that slowly overflowed from the domain was turning into transparent threads that bound them tightly here, making them unable to move anymore, as if they were completely glued to the ground.

　　Kei Kojima is not a very talented sorcerer, but he has his own way.

　　The territory was broken up and it was reopened. Blood flowed from Kei Kojima's nose.

　　It always succeeds.

　　He still had something to say to Gojo Satoru and couldn't bear to see him die like this.

　　"You're so annoying!"

　　Sukuna felt that the cursed power in his body was being absorbed bit by bit. Although it was only one hundred thousandth each time, very weak, it made him very uncomfortable. He slapped Yuji Itadori away, and Yuji Itadori flew far away.

　　Compared to Gojo Satoru, these people are not even qualified to be warm-up players.

　　However, this annoying guy deserves to die!

　　Sukuna bared his fangs and rushed towards Kei Kojima. A flash of light appeared and the sharp blade attacked, about to cut him in two. Suddenly, everything around him slowed down.

　　Time seemed to stand still.

　　More air currents surged out from Kei Kojima's domain. At that moment, Sukuna felt that the speed at which the domain absorbed the cursed energy suddenly increased a lot, becoming only one in ten thousand.

　　Air currents were surging wildly around everyone present.

　　Kei Kojima, who is at the center, is aging rapidly. It seems that the life is being drained away and disappearing quickly. His body is gradually becoming hunched. If he fails to complete his technique at the end of his life, he will die directly.

　　Sukuna finally understood, and he laughed wildly:

　　"So it's a life-for-life thing! You're not a healer at all! I underestimated you! What an interesting technique! Do you think that by resurrecting Gojo Satoru, your world will be saved?"

　　Unfortunately, Kei Kojima could no longer hear all of this.

　　He fell into an infinite dream.

　　Everything in the world formed a picture in front of his eyes, flashing by quickly, making him dizzy. Countless pieces of information forced into his brain, making his head almost explode.

　　He tried hard to identify the people he knew from among them, and searched randomly, and finally found the line that belonged to Gojo Satoru.

　　But I saw a lifeline that had already ended, and it was tied into a dead knot from the moment life ended.

　　Kei Kojima wanted to operate it, but he was powerless. He pulled hard and pulled the line out.

　　However, just entering here had already consumed all his energy.

　　What should we do if we go back in time?

　　Changing history and going back to the past, Kei Kojima tries to pull Gojo Satoru's lifeline back.

　　He could only rely on his feeling, but he couldn't pull it out at all, and the picture seemed to be frozen.

　　Kei Kojima is powerless to change history, and his cursed power and life are slowly being consumed.

　　what do I do……

　　How can I do this?

　　Did my mother also enter here back then?

　　Kei Kojima suddenly thought of his mother, but he couldn't find any portrait of her.

　　At this moment, a pair of illusory hands appeared in front of him and gently placed on Kei Kojima's hands.

　　In an instant, Kei Kojima's cursed power increased at a terrifying speed.

　　Many images crowded into his mind.

　　The pictures scroll rapidly, depicting a person's life until the end.

　　This is a world with Rina Kojima as the main perspective.

　　Rina Kojima was born into an ordinary family. At least that's what she thought.

　　Her parents were healthy, and she went to an ordinary primary school and an ordinary high school. When she was sixteen, her father handed her a booklet, saying it was a family heirloom and asked her to read it carefully, as it might come in handy one day.

　　She had always been able to see cursed spirits. She was clever enough to notice that no one around her could see them, but she never spoke of it. But one day, her father told her that a test had revealed her to be a sorcerer, and he brought her back into the family.

　　After that day, she wore a device on her wrist to isolate the cursed energy and could no longer see the cursed spirits.

　　She vaguely felt that perhaps possessing cursed power was not a lucky thing for this family.

　　Before her father passed away, he told her that they were actually descendants of sorcerers, but because they violated the ban, they could not appear in the sorcery world, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

　　This is a family motto.

　　Rina Kojima accepted it. She found an ordinary man to marry, hid her identity, and gave birth to Kei Kojima.

　　She didn't know that Geto Suguru, who lived next door, was also a sorcerer. In order to survive, she took on many jobs and had no time to go home. She was very grateful to her neighbor for taking care of her children.

　　She never thought that this person was a sorcerer who killed her child.

　　They were clearly living far away from the world of sorcery, so why would they provoke a sorcerer?

　　Lying in a pool of blood, she saw the lifeless child in the distance and removed the device from her wrist.

　　She was a natural born magician, and the cursed power that had been suppressed for many years erupted in an instant. She learned the ritual of life in almost a moment, and perhaps because she was eager to save people, she successfully performed the ritual and returned to the past.

　　Just reversing the past would bring her great physical harm. Not only would she have to endure the backlash, but she couldn't say a word about anything related to the future. If she denied it, she would suffer heart-wrenching pain.

　　Even if she hid her identity, she couldn't stop the attacks from the curse world. It would be better to be in it, maybe she could find a clue. She wanted to pave a way for her child. Even if she encountered an accident in the future, perhaps she could find a way to protect herself in the curse world.

　　The clever father soon found out, and he told her in a subtle way that he hoped she would live her own life, and that once she gave birth to Kei Kojima, her life would be coming to an end.

　　This is the second chance God gave her.

　　Although I feel sorry for this grandson whom I have never met, my own children are the most important.

　　She refused.

　　My father cried silently, but did not speak again.

　　"I love him, Father, as you love me."

　　Rina Kojima in the picture said with a smile.

　　Kei Kojima was crying outside the screen.

　　He followed his mother's perspective, watching his mother and the young teacher Ye Moth secretly fall in love, and watched his mother say goodbye to Teacher Ye Moth and say that she was going to have a baby.

　　He was smiling when he spoke, but tears came into his eyes when he turned around.

　　She liked Teacher Ye Moth, but unfortunately she never said it out loud.

　　Shortly after Kojima Kei's exam ended, she was caught.

　　In the dungeon where Kei Kojima was also imprisoned for a long time, this couple, both over fifty years old, had never expressed their feelings to each other.

　　She finally said what was hidden in her heart: "You know, I like you, Zhengdao."

　　Do you regret it? Never regret it.

　　I just feel it's a pity.

　　If she had the chance to do it again, she would still make the same choice.

　　But if she had the chance, she also wanted to go back to that afternoon of separation, and when the moth called her, she would come to her senses, hug him, and tell him loudly her feelings.

　　Is it a coincidence that makes it so unforgettable?

　　Her health was getting worse and worse. During her detention, someone would use her mobile phone to communicate with Kei Kojima to ensure that Kei Kojima would not become suspicious.

　　Every day Kei Kojima lives, her body deteriorates a bit.
　　This is the punishment of the sorcerer. On the day she dies completely, the object of the spell will be completely free from the threat of death, change the past, and cross the boundary of death.

　　In order to let her child find a goal and continue to live, she had to extend this seed. She ran out, deliberately found Geto Suguru, and died suddenly in front of him.

　　That way her children wouldn't be suspicious.

　　The moment she closed her eyes.

　　She was thinking.

　　My child, live well.

　　Kei Kojima's face was covered with tears.

　　He covered his face and cried silently.

　　The figure slowly disappeared, and Kojima Kei reached out and grabbed her, grabbing her sleeve, just like he had done countless times when they were children.

　　He already knew everything about it.

　　She also transmitted all the information about the technique to him.

　　Kei Kojima now knows what to do.

　　The white soul seemed a little confused and looked back at Kei Kojima. She had completed her mission and it was time to leave.

　　But Kei Kojima held her hand:

　　"Don't go."

　　He said:

　　"Mother."

　　He pulled hard backwards, and the images on both sides quickly retreated until they touched a wall.

　　Kojima Kei has reached the bottom line, the final point. He can go no further.

　　This was the limit of his technique, and it was also the day he crossed the line of death.

　　As long as he jumps out of this timeline now, he can not only save his lover, but also those friends who died in the battle.

　　This is the only chance.

　　Kei Kojima looked up and saw himself lying in a pool of blood on the screen. Opposite him, Geto Suguru, who was wearing a high school uniform, had his back to him, revealing his black back.

　　That was the beginning of it all.

　　But the more the mother chooses the end.

　　Kei Kojima pounded on the wall desperately.

　　If he stopped here, he wouldn't be able to save his mother, and he would have to go back to the starting point, where it all began.

　　Back to before both of them were killed.

　　Sukuna was sitting cross-legged with his hands on his shoulders, looking like Kei Kojima inside the circle.

　　He tried to attack, but found that his attack only grazed the human's body without leaving any scars.

　　In just ten breaths, the face of this young human was already covered with wrinkles. Time passed by him rapidly, taking away the rest of his life.

　　"It seems that exchanging one life for another is not that simple~"

　　Sukuna said leisurely.

　　In the distance, Yuta Otsutsuki was trapped in place by the air current, tears streaming down his face:

　　"Mr. Kojima! Stop it! Stop it!"

　　"Yuta, I might die."

　　One day, Gojo Satoru suddenly found him and said:

　　"I don't quite believe it, but if something like this really happens, I beg you, don't let Kei know about it. Otherwise... he will definitely try his best to save me."

　　But it was too late.

　　Life force alone seemed not enough, and Kojima Kei's flesh and bones began to disappear, starting with his entire arm, and the flesh and blood all melted into the field. The speed at which he absorbed the cursed power was extremely terrifying, and his legs also slowly disappeared. In a moment, only the skeleton was left.

　　If the procedure is not completed before the skeleton disappears, the only way left for him is death.

　　Kei Kojima knew nothing about this and just kept smashing the mirror-like wall.

　　The soul was torn into pieces and about to dissipate, leaving only a skeleton outside.

　　Kei Kojima thought there was almost no hope.

　　Suddenly, he seemed to hear a sigh from afar. The next second, the joints of his fingers suddenly moved, and the mirror cracked. Kei Kojima reached in and grabbed Geto Suguru's clothes.

　　“Sizzle!”

　　In the picture, Geto Suguru seemed a little surprised and turned to look at him. Kojima Kei grabbed his clothes, threw him out, and hugged his mother who opened the door and came in.

　　Falling into the warm embrace of mother.

　　Even if Geto Suguru was resurrected, he would no longer be afraid of him.

　　He now has something very precious.

　　"boom--"

　　The area above Kei Kojima suddenly collapsed, forming a huge vortex.

　　The vortex grew bigger and bigger, its edges trembling, swallowing everything in the world.

　　Sukuna's body gradually turned into pieces and merged into the whirlpool, but he couldn't move at all.

　　"ah?"

　　What kind of technique is this...

　　Unfortunately, he didn't figure it out before his body was completely shattered.

　　The world was broken into pieces and began to be reshaped into its original timeline.

　　The soul returns and the world line converges.
